Innovation in eyewear isn't really a topic that those of us in the tech and gadget field keep track of. Other than changes in frame styles and lens quality, eyeglasses look and perform the same way they have for decades. At least that's what I thought until I was contacted about Aspire Eyewear, a new [...]

The optical lenses in our eyeglasses have evolved over the years to include bifocals, scratch protection, progressive bifocals, automatic tinting in the sun and more. But the frames that hold these lenses have changed very little over time. Yes, the styles and designs have changed with fashion trends, but the physical design and components of the [...]

The LidsLash from Common Sense Inventions Inc. is an easy to use clip that can attach to almost any hat to hold your sunglasses in place when you're not wearing them. Instead of putting your glasses over your hat only to have them fall on the ground when you bend over, the LidsLash uses rare [...]

The Lens Friend is a strip of silicone with magnets embedded in each end; when it's folded in the middle, the ends grip together. You can fold them over your shirt pocket, a collar, or your bag. It has three 0.5" loops on one end for you to slip one of the temples of your [...]

I'm apparently lucky, but I never seem to be bothered by staring at a computer or tablet screen for hours. I know many people are plagued with eye strain, dry eyes, headaches, and the like after using a computer for a while. I'm not sure what can prevent the eye strain, other than taking breaks, [...]

I have worn eyeglasses since I was in second grade. My first pair was short-lived, I had not gotten used to wearing them yet and I took them off every day at lunch in the cafeteria. For some reason, I had the habit of putting them in the brown paper bag that my mom packed [...]

These multipurpose Beer Shot Glasses from The Awesomer Shop combine a pint beer glass and a shot glass into one. The glasses are made of laboratory-grade borosilicate glass. One end holds a full 16 ounces, and the other holds a 2 ounce shot. As well as being a novelty, these glasses can save room in [...]

If you require eyeglasses, you may find that Google Glass's frame won't work in conjunction with your current glasses. Luckily, an employee of OpticsPlanet was invited to try Google Glass (GG for short), and when he found he couldn't wear them with his current glasses, he asked his company for a solution. OpticsPlanet came up [...]

With only 6 days to go, the Grip Clip Kickstarter project is already fully funded. This small injection molded silicone clip slides onto the temple of your glasses and provides an open gripper that can hold a pencil, pen, or other similarly sized object. The look is akin to sticking a pencil behind your ear, but it [...]
